It looks like metal art—but it's high-stakes rocket science. Discover NASA’s surprisingly elegant method for crafting ultra-strong combustion chambers.

“Black Engine” is the name of a transpiration-cooled ceramic thrust chamber technology developed at DLR Institut of Structures and Design. Taking advantage of the favorable material properties of ...

While NASA’s Artemis program may ultimately abandon the Space Launch System rocket, for now, Melbourne-based L3Harris is ...

Supporting the experiments, numerical studies permit the theoretical transfer to transpiration cooling models of a 1:1 scale rocket engine combustion chamber. The goal is to apply transpiration ...

A combustion chamber for an engine, for instance, can be produced in less than a week compared to the months it used to take in traditional manufacturing. “When we look at the rocket engine ...

The H3 rocket test machine No. 1, which was launched from the Tanegashima Space Center on March 7, 2023, had a problem with the ignition of the second stage engine, and a command destruction ...

Explore the breakthrough of Kelvin Mk.1, Northern Ireland's first student-designed liquid rocket engine from Queen's University Belfast.

For an RS-25 engine test, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are mixed in the engine combustion chamber and ignited, which results in extremely high-temperature exhaust – up to 6,000 degrees ...

The Rutherford engine is a key component of the Electron rocket and is the first 3D-printed engine to reach space. The printer that makes it, oftentimes as tall as an NBA center, works with ...
